It was a lovely relaxed start to the afternoon for Crew Shields as we spent some time in the. Library. What could be better than reading and a biscuit.

Today, we finished planting our pea seeds in our pots, including setting up our plant diaries to keep track of their progress. We used what we learnt during the Spring term about planting seeds to make sure they were planted properly, so they could grow. We discussed the best place in the classroom to get the most sunlight.
Today we continued our learning around Christianity. We listened to a range music and discussed how and why they use music in worship. We listened for similarities and differences between them. Finally, we thought about what songs were special to us and what emotions they made us feel.
We also enjoyed tasting bread and learning about the Holy Communion.
We have been watering our pea plants every other day for the last week and we are so surprised by how fast they have grown. Today, we watered our plants and filled out our plant planner.
Before moving into Y2 we have been practising our counting to 100. We have been able to work as a crew to order the numbers 50 to 100.
In Friday funday crew we have played fishy fishy all together. We loved playing to the new rules!
We have been looking at what doubles are, and what happens to a number when you double it. We took our learning outside this week and had a ‘Doubles Hunt’! We each had to take a piece of numicon out of the mystery bag before searching the playground for the matching image. Once we had found it, we had to count what double the original number was. Even though we all had a piece, we worked well with our peers and showed fantastic team-work by helping each other find the correct image and then helping to count to find double that number. Excellent work Crew Welburn!
On Wednesday, we were treated to a production of Oliver Twist. This was a big deal for Crew McGlone because it was the first time we had been in the hall for a performance with the rest of the school! We absolutely LOVED IT! We loved the lights, the music, everything! We sat so beautifully as well throughout the whole performance, our teachers we so proud of how well we behaved! We can’t wait for the next production! 🎭
In expedition, we have been looking at different modes of transport and how they can help us to move around our local area, as well as how they can help us to move around the world. We have looked at the purpose of various vehicles and how some are suitable for shorter journeys, whereas others are suitable for longer journeys.
We looked at different locations (Asda Carcroft, Doncaster City Centre, Cleethorpes, Canada, and Kenya) and thought carefully about the transport that would be needed to get to each destination. We then drew the transport we would like to use to get to that location. Take a look at some of our beautiful drawings below!
I’ve been so impressed to see so many brilliant builds in our construction and small world areas this week. The designs have been wonderful and the team work has been outstanding! I have heard lots of critique, positive comments, polite and kind words – it has made me feel very proud!
